So, as you may or may not know I have coilovers installed and lowered the car quite a bit. Loved the look but it was to low, the front overhang on the car means its a real scraping hazard and the crossmember is a bit lower than I'd like so I raised it back up about 1" just to be safe.
Now I built a 1972 z28 and mounted the front subframe to the body without bushings. Worked out great. I'm now thinking of removing the body mounts and mounting the body of the car directly to the frame to get that extra drop without sacrificing ground clearance and it will cover up the small portion of the frame showing out of the side of the car.
My concern is squeaking with that much body touching the frame. I have a set of solid aluminum bushings I didn't use and am also considering throwing them on a lathe to cut them down to 1/8" or so just to give the car something to sit on besides the body.
Input/ideas?
